has already prompted some racehorse trainers to begin exploring new employment, while its thoroughbreds face the prospect of being homeless. On Saturday, some motorists on the Bukit Timah Expressway may well have thought one horse was already seeking greener pastures.
In a video circulated on Saturday, a brown horse with a white streak on its face and a saddle on its back is seen weaving through lanes and halting traffic as it gallops on the BKE, at one point turning to face oncoming cars head on, forcing motorists to come to a halt. In another video, the horse is seen being safely escorted off the road near an exit towards Turf Club Avenue by a Land Transport Authority official.
A Singapore Turf Club spokesman said: “We are aware that a horse belonging to Bukit Timah Saddle Club found its way outside its stable and onto the roads briefly. It has since been returned safely to its stable.”After 72 years occupying 51 Fairways Drive, riding school Bukit Timah Saddle Club moved to new grounds at the Singapore Turf Club in Kranji in February to make way for the Cross Island MRT line. It took with it 78 horses.
